Science Jokes

 2011

1. Two atoms walk into a bar. One says to the other, "I think I've lost an electron!" "Are you sure?" "Yes, I'm positive!"
    
   
2. A neutron walks into a bar and asks, "How much is a beer?" The bartender says, "For you, no charge."
    
3. The tachyon orders a beer. A tachyon walks into a bar.
    
4. Why Did the Chicken Cross the Möbius Strip? To get to the other side.
    
   Caveat: nerds of the world are arguing if this joke should end with "same side" or "other side". One point of view is that a Möbius Strip only has one side. But if you started and experiment with fast chicken-a and slow chicken-b on opposite sides (from a local perspective) of the same plane, fast chicken-a would eventually catch up to slow chicken-b. Time to test this hypothesis with an experiment: cut a strip of looped paper then fuse it end-to-end so it is now a loop with no twist. Draw a colored line on the inner surface of the loop. Now cut the loop, insert a twist, then close the loop. Moving 360 degrees around the loop allows you to traverse the surface with the colored line while another 360 degrees allows you to traverse the surface without the colored line. I now forget why the joke was funny  
    
5. Some helium floats into a bar. The bartender says, "Get out! We don't serve any noble gases in this bar." Helium doesn't react.

7. A room temperature superconductor walks into a bar. The bartender says, "Get out! There are no superconductors allowed in this bar." The room temperature superconductor leaves without putting up any resistance.
    
   
8. Two bacteria walk into a bar. The bartender says, "Get out! We don't serve any bacteria in this bar. The two bacteria say, "Hey, but we work here. We're staph."
    
   
9. Schrödinger's cat walks into a bar... and doesn't.

11. An infrared photon walks into a bar and says, "Is it hot in here, or is it just me?"

The barkeep serves the water, knowing there will be no tip. The second kid says, "I'll have some H20 too." The bartender says, we don't serve minors in this oxidation state.

• A climate scientist and a climate change denier walk into a bar. The scientist surveys the room and says to the bartender, I'll have what 98 percent everybody here is having. The bartender turns to the denier and says, how about you? The denier replies, I'll wait to see what the other two percent think.
   
• A climate scientist and a climate change denier walk into a bar. The denier says, bartender, show me your strongest whiskey. The bartender says, this one here. It's 95 percent alcohol. The denier slams down his fist and leaves the bar in a hurry. The scientist says, you know, that's the problem with these guys. You show them the proof, and they still don't buy it. (for people who do not consume alcohol, "the proof" is a measurement of alcohol percentage)
   
• A climate scientist and a climate change denier walk into a bar. The denier orders a beer. The bartender says, bottle? Denier says, no, draft. I have an incisor that gets in a way. And the climatologist says, that's an inconvenient tooth.
